The only teacher throughout my 6 years at Carroll that stands out to me...is Dr. David Bazette Jones. I wouldn’t have made it to where I am without his teachings of biomechanics

Dr. Bazett-Jones was an amazing teacher throughout my time at Carroll and really helped to understand the big picture. He was always there for the student even if we went in his class at the time. He deserves his ten year and the new president shouldn’t be able to determine this after one look.

My sister had Dr. DBJ and has never said a bad word about his character or teaching. I will be entering the DPT Program Fall of 2019 and would like to experience DBJ as my professor!

DR. David Baxter-Jones was one of the best professor I had through the entire PT program. He is one of the hardest working professors I had the privilege to learn from. It isn’t just his ability to convey the material taught in the class, it is his ability to provide a safe place for atudents to learn without judgement and without the scorn or attitude if a student doesn’t understand immediately. He takes the time to provide each student with the individualized attention they may need as well as the group learning experiences. He understands and alters his teaching methods based on a students way of learning. He was and is someone we can go to for school or personal help and advice. He makes an effort to go beyond the classroom to provide us with help on homework or help with provide an unbiased opinion when it comes to life lessons. Providing support for students occurs in many different ways and not all professors understand or try to achieve that. Professor DBJ was able to provide that support academically and emotionally whether it was his class, someone else’s, or not even school related. His smile gave us confidence when we had none, his calm and relaxed disposition prevented anxiety attacks and freak outs, and his patience gave us the ability to learn the material at our pace and in a way that would allow retention. I cannot think of a professor that deserves tenure more than Dr. Bazett-Jones.

Dr. David Bazett-Jones served as both an educator and a mentor for me during my time in Carroll’s Physical Therapy program. He is passionate about teaching and goes above and beyond what is required of his job description. His classes challenge students to think outside the box, something we now have to do every day as clinicians. His office was always open for answering questions regarding coursework or how to balance school versus life concerns. He helped place some of my anxieties with schoolwork into perspective. In addition to his teaching duties, he actively contributes to research and engaging students in that research process. He is a valuable resource to Carroll and the Physical Therapy and Athletic Training professions. He can not be replaced. It is unfortunate that Carroll is not prioritizing his tenure.

DBJ was an excellent professor. He taught me so much more than just biomechanics. He taught me how to be a driven and compassionate clinician. DBJ is more than qualified to be granted tenure.

I whole heartedly agree with the above statement. It is a disgrace that this is even happening. This makes me a very disappointed alumni.

Dr. Bazett-Jones played a huge role in my education at Carroll. Without him, I wouldn't be the PT I am today.

Upper management made a huge mistake with letting Eric thobaben go in the bio department due to tenure issues and it took forever for the land ecology section to recover. Don't make the same mistake with DBJ. He makes hard classes fun, relatable and makes the information stick for life. I already sway people away from Carroll now that lax, Milwaukee and Madison have direct entry due to their poor money management (see the pool situation in 2013-2014) as well as their decision to not tenure Eric thobaben. However, as DBJ is such an integral part in the learning process in the DPT program, I would not reccomend Carroll at all should he lose his position.

My nephew is a student of his and vouched for this professor. My nephews word is all I need to support this cause.

Dr. Bazett-Jones is a phenomenal teacher who set a solid foundation for the rest of my DPT education and future career. He isn't one of those professors who just sticks with one method of teaching, who doesn't adapt, and expects his students to all do things his way. Instead, he has many different teaching styles that cater to different learning styles so that all of his students can be successful. By letting him go, Carroll would be losing a huge asset to the program and a professor who truly cares about his students' success.

Dr. Bazett-Jones truly is one of the most dedicated and best professors at Carroll. Denying him tenure would truly be a disservice to all current and future students of the DPT program.

As far as staff in the PT program, DBJ is a must to stay. It would be idiotic to let such a great teacher leave the Carroll PT program.

I only met DBJ once, and he had such a great impact on me, and I got super excited for grad school even though I’m still a year away from it. It would be a decrement to the PT program at Carroll if he left.

Dr. Bazett-jones made a very difficult class fun, understandable, and engaging. I feel that it would be a huge disservice for current students as well as future ones to remove a professor who cares deeply about the success of his students.
